  Does it matter whether we are judging the CEOs, their styles, or the company performance and trend? I think it's all semantics. CEOs' performances and policies are based on company performances and policies. It's all the same.

  You make it sound so easy though. Basically, the only thing we can do is to contact Uber.

  The tough question is to get Uber to respond.

   5 years ago in  Is this a driver scam? Driver starts the trip WITHOUT YOU in the car. Why? Maybe to find your destination? Then cancels if he doesn't like it.

  This is a real stupid way to scam passengers.  The dude would be on the hook for a on-star rating no matter what.

   6 years ago in  Grinds my gears. Pax who asks for extra stops but not in the app

  wait, you might have a point here.

  but let me go over this to make sure. When routes are changed and stops are made, the prices are supposed to be reflected in the fare. Upfront pricing is no more.  The fare is recalculated for the new distance and duration driven.

  With that said, I suppose it's a small stop or the route isn't too affected, I am not sure how Uber app handles it.  I really have no idea what's going on anymore.

  Those are your paying customers you are referring to. Where's your sense of service?

  Is this entitlement?  Is this your misunderstanding that you will get paid less?  Is this your hatred for all who ride your cars?

   6 years ago in  Can Uber driver drop and pick up in all cities in Florida or just assigned cities?

  See, it's not just about Uber "supporting" those cities.  It totally depends on whether there are drivers there and it has taken off among the consumers.  So, make sure to check the market before you sign up.  (or travel and expect there to be Uber there - for riders)

   6 years ago in  If you were the new CEO of Uber, with absolute power, what would be the first thing you'd change?

  Right, I agree with you, but and I'd hate to say it but it's a matter of expectation.  Riders are customers, and drivers are working.  You may be allowed to walk into a famliy restaraunt in t-shirt and ripped jeans, but you can't have the workers be wearing the same.

  ...but I am in agreement that I am sure drivers deal with filthy and stinky riders all the time.  To that, I do sympathize and I do feel there should be a rule or at least be reflected on the ratings.

  You are talking about Florida?  or Texas?  That is fascinating to imagine a guidebook suggesting that. I can see it though.  

  (but whole states?  I have seen some guidebooks mention neighborhoods of LA, Chicago, and NY but not for an entire state due to their laws.

  Why are these strippers such divas.  Aren't they in the customer facing business?  I guess when they are off the shift, they really want attention and be treated like they treat their customers.  

  Not sure what happened in the back entrance.  Maybe she was famous.  Like Stormy. LOL.

   6 years ago in  How do I pay for tolls?

  Uber's app automatically charges you for tolls.  It goes on the total fare and it gets charged to your credit card or any other method of payment you have on file.

   6 years ago in  As an Uber/Lyft driver, what have you been accused of by riders?

  You have to upload it to another source, like imgur and then source the image's url.   or if the image is already on the Internet somewhere, you can copy/paste into the editor, and it just thros it on. 

  I don't think you can upload it to rideguru.com.

   6 years ago in  Should we be tipping Uber drivers if all they did was drive and get us to the destinations, doing what they were paid to do?

  Can we just stick to what our culture is used to with treating the service personnel?  In the USA, we all tip waitors, bellboy, hair dressers, food delivery, and taxi drivers.  Why are we even arguing about rideshare drivers?  

  Who disrupted the commonsense and the market standard?  Is it all Uber's fault?
